What is a profit and loss statement?
It is a one-page summary of a period, usually a month. It lists what you sold, subtracts what the goods cost you and what it cost to run the business, and ends with the profit or loss. It answers one question: did the shop make money this month?
Which sales should I count, with cash on delivery?
Count COD orders only when the parcel was delivered and the courier has collected the cash. Parcels that are still on the way or came back are not sales yet. Prepaid orders count when the payment is in. Put the value of returned and refunded orders in the returns line.
What goes in returns and RTO loss?
Money you lose on orders that do not stay sold: refunds, the courier’s charge for taking the parcel back, and stock that came back damaged and cannot be sold. A COD parcel that is refused costs you the delivery and return fees even though no sale happened.
What is the difference between gross profit and net profit?
Gross profit is sales minus returns and the cost of the goods you sold. Net profit is what is left after courier, packaging, ads, payment fees, rent, salaries and everything else. Net profit is the number that is really yours.
How is the margin worked out?
Net profit divided by sales, shown as a percentage. A 20% margin means you keep Rs 20 from every Rs 100 you sell. A negative margin means the shop lost money that month.
Can I use this for my tax return or a bank?
It is a working statement for you to see how the shop is doing. For a tax return or a bank loan, give your numbers to an accountant, who will prepare it in the form they need.
